The start of Armageddon
It was just another day
We all saw the news, nothing to say

So many friends are missing
And family members gone
So we all pray that God help them be strong

And now we stand together
Remembering that day
The lives we live will never be the same

[CHORUS]
And we don't know why
The innocent die
Will this world ever find a way to change?
And we don't know why
But we know it's not right
We don't know why so many had to die
We don't know why so many had to die

Hate has turned to others
For their religion or their skin
But hate can't solve the problem it began
Everyone is angry
People are afraid
And no one knows what decisions will be made

[CHORUS]

Bridge
And we don't know why (don't know why)
The innocent die (don't know why)
Will this world ever find a way to change?
And we don't know why (don't know why)
But we know it's not right (don't know why)
Will any of us ever be the same?
Will any of this ever be the same?

And we don't know why
The innocent die
Will any of us ever be the same?
Will any of this ever be the same?

    General Comment:I'm not a fan of Good Charlotte. I don't like their music, but this is a good song. Goldfinger and Mest are bands that I like and this song came out awesome. It's now one of my fav songs of all time.

    General Comment:Hey Kids - For all of you who aren't aware... This song was out long before 9/11 happened. It just happened to fit at that time. The band sang it as a motivational song, just like U2 sang "Walk On".

    But seriously, this song was NOT written for 9/11. It was written WAYYYYYY before. Why don't you go check it out on the internet if you don't believe me.

    General Comment:Good Lord! READ people! I said: "but it really sucks that this song is about September 11." I did NOT say: "This song sucks because it's about September 11." I hope none of you are lawyers.
